Contrary To Reports, Caravan Of 'Refugees' Still Marching Toward U.S. Border

Despite reports that the Mexican government had broken up a caravan of some 1,500 Central Americans marching toward the U.S. border, the throng is still together and on the move.

Buzzfeed reporter Adolfo Flores, who is covering the caravan, said it has not been disbanded and group leaders vow to continue.

At caravan general meeting Irineo Mujica said the caravan will continue and will not be stopped. The group plans on going to Puebla and then Mexico City. After that they will go on with asylum seekers.

Flores said that the marchers were "encouraged to take a humanitarian visa in Mexico, a document allowing them to travel in Mexico for 10 to 20 days, or document giving them permission to stay in the country for 30 days to file an immigration claim. They will not go beyond Mexico City." But the asylum seekers will continue to the U.S. border.
